Mechanistic Description of Convective Gas–Liquid Mass Transfer in Biotrickling Filters Using CFD Modeling

Determination of surface convective heat transfer coefficients by CFD

Heat and vapour convective surface coefficients are required in practically all heat and vapour transport calculations. In building envelope research, such coefficients are often assumed constants for a set of conditions. Heat transfer surface coefficients are often determined using empirical correlations based on measurements of different geometry and flows. Vapour transfer surface coefficient...

The control of mercury vapor using biotrickling filters.

The feasibility of using biotrickling filters for the removal of mercury vapor from simulated flue gases was evaluated. The experiments were carried out in laboratory-scale biotrickling filters with various mixed cultures naturally attached on a polyurethane foam packing. Sulfur oxidizing bacteria, toluene degraders and denitrifiers were used and compared for their ability to remove Hg 0 vapor....

Understanding the limits of H2S degrading biotrickling filters using a differential biotrickling filter

The removal of H2S in high performance biotrickling filters was investigated using a differential biotrickling filter. The differential biotrickling filter was designed to reach high gas velocities through a minature packed bed, in this case a single 4-cm open-pore polyurethane foam cube. External mass transfer was limiting below air velocities of 3000–4000 m h−1, with possible other parameters...
